Yeovil Town had to settle for a goalless draw against high-flying Plymouth Argyle tonight, but once again found themselves matching more illustrious opposition on home turf. The Glovers may be struggling at the wrong end of League Two, but like Saturday's game against Portsmouth, they did more than enough to scare their promotion-chasing opponents, dominating a high-octane first half that saw chances for Brandon Goodship and Tahvon Campbell go wide of the target. Argyle came back into the match after the break to turn the second period into a more even nervy encounter, but despite that Yeovil carved out enough chances, with Goodship's shot saved by Luke McCormick probably the pick of the bunch as he was denied from close range. Both teams had to settle for a point - a draw that puts Yeovil above the relegation line on goal difference after York City lost at home to Northampton Town.

The Glovers went into the match making just one change to their starting line-up and it was a straight swap of two AFC Bournemouth loanees. Harry Cornick had been slightly under the weather with an illness between the Saturday and Tuesday games, and so he dropped out with Brandon Goodship replacing him to get his first ever Football League start. On the opposition teamsheet, former Glovers striker Reuben Reid took his place, but for the second meeting between the two clubs, he had to settle for a place on the bench, having struggled to grab a starting point in Argyle's in-form team.

The game got off to an absolute flyer. On occasions this season, Yeovil Town have been found guilty of sluggish starts that have set the tone of the game, but on this occasion the opposite was true as they attacked Argyle at a frantic pace. Brandon Goodship, making his first start as a professional first team player, had one shot blocked and another sent wide early on, whilst Matt Dolan saw another attempt blocked by the legs of an Argyle defender. It took nearly 20 minutes for Argyle to find their feet as Ryan Brunt's knockdown into the path of Graham Carey saw their first shot go wide of the target.

With Everton loanee Liam Walsh pulling the strings in midfield, Argyle looked anything but promotion contenders before the break, and the 18 year old set up another one of the loan pack, with Baggies striker Tahvon Campbell getting through but with the eventual effort going wide of goal. This was probably the main criticism of the overall 45 minutes, in that for all of the fluent play and interchange between the players, and the number of times the Plymouth defence got stretched, that the final shot didn't do enough to worry Luke McCormick once they got inside the penalty box.

Argyle had picked up a couple of bookings in the lead-up to the break as their desperation in stopping the Glovers runs turned to more illegal ways and methods. Jordon Forster had endured a particularly torrid half, and he was replaced at the break by right-back Kelvin Mellor. Perhaps the Glovers hadn't read the tactical change too well, as Mellor ghosted in and nearly scored within a minute of his appearance onto the pitch. This gave Plymouth their strongest period of the game, as for a fifteen minute spell they held the upper hand, and the fear was this might turn into the proverbial game of two halves.

Ryan Bird was brought on for better aerial prescence up front, replacing Tahvon Campbell and seeing Francois Zoko occupy one of the wider forward positions. On the hour mark, Brandon Goodship almost got in as he anticipated a poor back header by an Argyle defender, but Luke McCormick saved well from close range and Goodship couldn't dig out the rebound. Then Bird headed over the bar from a Connor Roberts cross and that began to restore some balance to the second half.

During the closing stages, there was a spot of stupidity as two Argyle supporters threw coloured smoke devices onto the pitch, leading to a lengthy delay that was ultimately responsible for much of the six minutes of injury time, as Artur Krysiak had to temporarily leave his own goal area to steer himself clear of the smoke at that end. When play restarted, it didn't really help the momentum of the game, although with two minutes to go, Krysiak was forced into one of his few saves of the game with a looping header that he pushed over the bar. At the other end Jakub Sokolik was the surprise recipient of a loose ball from a free kick but his shot went wide, and that meant both sides had to settle for a point each. In truth although there was much excitement in a fast-pace game, both goalkeepers weren't as tested as they probably should have been from the open play. That will probably please Darren Way more than Derek Adams, particularly as it helped his side climb above the relegation zone in the process, on the back of two points from two games they might not have expected too much from leading into the weekend just gone.
